For me 3 years BA and 3 years PhD. Not that I got my PHD in 3, but after that I got a job and took another 3 to submit the PhD - so I guess that would all be the same as 9 in total in 'US currency'. <BR/><BR/>Nowadays that would not be allowed. Funded PhDs here must first complete an MA and then finish their PhD within 4 years or both they, their supervisor and their department are shot.Sarah Rees Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07540329925016517409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-37168265801269423502008-09-14T13:52:00.000-04:002008-09-14T13:52:00.000-04:00Wait -- those were on the GRE?

BA: 3 1/2 years; MA: 2 years; PhD: 8 years (if we assume 'going to school' means 'registered as a student' rather than 'taking classes')= 13 1/2 years.Karl Steelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03353370018006849747noreply@blogger.com
